Respectful Workplace:  Understanding and Preventing Harassment

Description:

A hostile work environment may be illegal, but it also can be a symptom of a much larger problem ­ lack of respect in the workplace.  This half-day program begins with the minimum requirements of the law, and your organization's policy and procedure prohibiting harassment on the basis of sex, race, age, religion, national origin, disability and sexual orientation.  Going beyond the minimum, we bring in your organizational values, as well as the values of the participants, to begin the process of creating a respectful workplace.  There are separate courses for managers and individual contributors.

The instructors are seasoned attorneys, experienced trainers and skilled facilitators who use stories and humor to make this potentially dry topic fun, interesting and memorable.  The program is highly participative with group interaction, small group case studies, video vignettes, skill-building exercises, and plenty of time to ask questions.  Participants receive a comprehensive workbook and reference guide they can use again and again.

• The causes of harassment
